Last year we wrote about the works of the Ministry of Development and Technology (hereinafter also: MDT) on the draft amendment to the so-called Act 10H providing for the reduction of restrictions resulting from the rule determining the minimum distance of a wind power plant from residential buildings and forms of nature protection. MDT announced that thanks to the amendment new wind power plants will be built, wholesale electricity prices will be reduced and the local and national economy will be stimulated. As it turns out, we will have to wait a bit longer for the eagerly awaited changes.

The discussion around the amendment of the Act of 20 May 2016 on investments in wind power plants (Journal of Laws of 2020, item 981, 1378; hereinafter: the Distance Act) continues. Since the beginning of 2020, the government has been working on the amendment of the Distance Law, the main objective of which is to introduce solutions for investment processes concerning wind power plants. These are currently significantly restricted by the so-called 10H rule.
For a few years now, with the development of the RES market in Europe, an increase in interest in Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) can be observed. Corporate PPAs are a solution allowing for the sale of electricity from renewable energy sources between the producer of electricity and the customer, excluding trading companies.
